Chapter 906: [906] : Edo Tensei vs. Cell
Chapter 906: [906] : Edo Tensei vs. Cell
Cell unleashed several of his most powerful attacks, trying to obliterate the Edo Tensei Hokage once and for all, but he was dumbfounded.
These Hokage were simply immortal. Cell could easily tear the Third Hokage to shreds, but he would regenerate in an instant.
Then, the Third Hokage summoned the Monkey King, Enma, who used his Adamantine Staff to send Cell flying.
’Are these guys immortal, just like the androids?’ Cell finally realized. After reaching his Perfect form and gaining immense power, his mind didn’t seem to be working as well as before.
<Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!>
Hashirama unleashed his ninjutsu. Countless wooden tendrils erupted from the ground, enveloping Cell and lifting him into the air.
Then, the Fourth Hokage used his Flying Thunder God Technique to appear behind Cell, striking him and tearing off one of his arms.
"Did we get him?" the Fourth Hokage shouted excitedly.
Of course not. Cell’s arm regenerated in an instant. He glared at the Hokage, his face contorted with rage.
But the Second Hokage’s face was grim. He shook his head. "No, we’ve failed."
"Damn it! Where did you pathetic insects come from, getting in my way?!"
Cell roared, firing a beam of light from his mouth that vaporized the Hokage in an instant.
The current Cell, if placed in the Naruto world, could probably one-shot a Six Paths-level being. Killing these Hokage was no challenge.
He had just been toying with them, but now he was getting annoyed.
To his surprise, however, after he unleashed his attack, the Hokage regenerated and appeared before him again.
Cell was confused. He began to back away, trying to think of a new strategy.
But the Hokage, standing behind him, were also feeling conflicted. They could feel their power diminishing. Madara’s Susanoo wasn’t as grand as it used to be.
"The vessels we’re using to resurrect ourselves are too fragile. They can’t support our original, immense combat power," the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, pinpointed the problem. But saying it was useless. They had been summoned by Shin to a strange, unfamiliar world.
This world wasn’t theirs. Many of their world’s combat rules, many of their techniques, were limited here.
Hashirama, thinking for a moment, said to the other three, "Let’s not fight him head-on. We need to buy time for Shin."
"Alright!"
Hashirama was the sharpest among them. Besides Madara, the other three nodded in agreement. They decided to follow Hashirama’s plan.
Madara, however, was too arrogant. He thought Hashirama was a coward, afraid to face such an opponent head-on.
"In the name of Madara Uchiha, I will fight you to the death!"
Madara unleashed his largest Susanoo, activated his Rinnegan, and even used Wood Release.
Hashirama, though not seeing Madara use these for the first time, was still impressed by his power. ’Even I might not be able to suppress him now,’ he thought.
Madara’s giant Susanoo charged towards Cell, its size now comparable to Cell’s.
But Cell also unleashed his full power. Madara’s Susanoo was shattered, and he himself was stomped underfoot by Cell.
Hashirama shook his head. ’Still so foolish, Madara,’ he thought. His body was completely destroyed; it would take a long time for him to regenerate.
Now only the four of them were left.
"Fourth, let’s use the Flying Thunder God Technique together,"
Hashirama said.
"Big Brother, you and the old monkey cover me. I’ll buy Shin some time."
The others agreed and continued to engage Cell.

Meanwhile, Shin was talking with Bulma.
Bulma showed him her prized possession, the time machine.
Shin looked at the time machine and found that it was almost identical to the one in the Dragon Ball manga.
He couldn’t help but admire Bulma. ’She really is a genius, just like in the manga,’ he thought.
Even with all the advanced technology in the Naruto world, and geniuses like Orochimaru, they still hadn’t invented a time machine.
"I..." Bulma started to say something, but hesitated.
Shin nodded. "You want me to resurrect Vegeta, right? No problem. That’s why I’m here."
"Thank you so much!"
Tears welled up in Bulma’s eyes. She missed Vegeta terribly. She had been loved by many men in her life, but the only one she truly loved was Vegeta.
Shin nodded and took out a sealing scroll, releasing the Akatsuki members from within.
"Art is an explosion!"
Deidara roared. Beside him stood Hidan and Kakuzu, looking at Shin with confusion.
Shin looked at them and sneered. "I was going to keep you around, but now I’ll be using your bodies as vessels for my Edo Tensei."
Using their bodies as vessels wouldn’t necessarily make Vegeta that much stronger, but this was purely for Shin’s own amusement.
He wanted to see what an Edo Tensei Vegeta would be like.
Deidara, Hidan, and Kakuzu were furious. They tried to charge at Shin, but they were bound by his ninjutsu, unable to move.
"What a pity! My art hasn’t even exploded, and I’m going to die here!"
Deidara shouted. Hidan and Kakuzu also glared at Shin with fury, but they knew they were no match for him. This was the law of the jungle—the weak are meat, the strong eat. They had lost to Shin.
Shin could do whatever he wanted with them. He began to form hand seals for the Edo Tensei, and the three of them dissolved into the scroll.
Bulma was stunned. She had seen many powerful people, like Goku, but she had never been afraid of them. But now, she was afraid of Shin.
She couldn’t imagine how Shin had so many strange magical abilities, able to create and destroy people at will.
Trunks, standing beside her, also sighed. If he didn’t think Shin was a good person, he would want to stay as far away from him as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
As Shin completed the hand seals, the bodies of Deidara, Hidan, and Kakuzu disappeared, and paper scraps flew up, forming into human shapes.
Tears streamed down Bulma’s face. It really was Vegeta.
Shin had resurrected three people this time: Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin, one of the most important people in Dragon Ball.
"Trunks, look! That’s your father, Vegeta!"
